heck of a job 

How well one does at blowing high ranking Republican officials. Swallowing is a must. Usually results in an appointment as bureau chief of some federal agency. Must achieve this score at least twice to head become Attorney General.
Dubya rated Brownie's fantastic hummer on national television. "Heck of a job," Dubya proclaimed, and Brownie beamed like Thomas the Tank Engine. Normally this would mean CEO of some defense or drug company at the end of the administration, but unfortunately it was during the Katrina disaster. Brownie's chances for that were severely curtailed. Not that Brownie minded, but he would have to receive his perks through the back door.

heck of a job 

A complete and total screw-up. From President George W. Bush's infamous comment to FEMA chief Michael D. Brown while the latter was botching the federal response to Hurricane Katrina: "Brownie, you're doing a heck of a job."
Ben Affleck, you're doing a heck of a job on Gigli.

The captain of the Titanic did a heck of a job.

Varus, you're doing a heck of a job with those Legions.

heck of a job 

Total screw-up. Usually used ironically, to indicate when someone's self-delusion is in direct contradiction to well-known and easily-observed facts.
"Brownie, you're doing a heck of a job."

heck of a job 

Phrase used by George W. Bush to refer to Michael Brown, then head of FEMA, during the response to Katrina. And the mocking was rightfuly deserved, as Brown was more or less inactive during the crisis, possibly delaying the establishment of refugee camps outside the city. The Mayor and the Governor fucked up completely, but Brown and Bush did as well. It is completely improper to try and protect them from blame and focus only on local and state officials.
The fact of the matter is that Mike "heck of a job" Brown fucked up the FEMA response. He did nothing to help the people of New Orleans for several days (and that is not because the evacuation is still going), and only after the National Guard finally arrived was anything done.

heck of a whaler 

This simply describes a specimen of the obese sub-species of humans. Common characteristics are huge-sized, full-packed with blubber and idiotic.
Hey dude, did you see that heck of a whaler come crashing straight through the door?!

Heck of a job Browny

A play on words to indicate someone over their head. Unware of what to do because of poor qualification. As in "you are doing a heck of a job Browny". Named after Michael D. Brown former under Secretary of Emergency Preparedness and Response who was in charge FEMA when they botched the New Orleans response to hurricane Katrina
George Bush to Michael D. Brown: You're doing a heck of a job Browny

This is Bush speak for, "...couldn't find his ass with a map."
